Intensive research on fullerenes, nanoparticles, and quantum
dots in the 1990s led to interest in nanotubes and nanowires in
subsequent years. Handbook of Nanophysics: Nanotubes and Nanowires
focuses on the fundamental physics and latest applications of these
important nanoscale materials and structures. Each peer-reviewed
chapter contains a broad-based introduction and enhances
understanding of the state-of-the-art scientific content through
fundamental equations and illustrations, some in color.
This volume first covers key aspects of carbon nanotubes,
including quantum and electron transport, isotope engineering, and
fluid flow, before exploring inorganic nanotubes, such as spinel
oxide nanotubes, magnetic nanotubes, and self-assembled peptide
nanostructures. It then focuses on germanium, gallium nitride,
gold, polymer, and organic nanowires and their properties. The book
also discusses nanowire arrays, nanorods, atomic wires, monatomic
chains, ultrathin gold nanowires, and several nanorings, including
superconducting, ferromagnetic, and quantum dot nanorings.
Nanophysics brings together multiple disciplines to determine
the structural, electronic, optical, and thermal behavior of
nanomaterials; electrical and thermal conductivity; the forces
between nanoscale objects; and the transition between classical and
quantum behavior. Facilitating communication across many
disciplines, this landmark publication encourages scientists with
disparate interests to collaborate on interdisciplinary projects
and incorporate the theory and methodology of other areas into
their work.
